OK. > Then we could > consider that MATH-784 is resolved. Before closing the issue, I'd like to commit the "test" I've attached to MATH-784. It's not really a "unit" test (as it doesn't "assert" anything yet) but it shows the meaning of "sigma". I've ended the class name with the string "TestValidation" so that it does not run by default with the "test" target.] Maybe I can add the assert statement (once the "getSigma" method is available). Is that OK for everyone?
